Whether or not you celebrate Christmas, I wish you quality time with people you love, and warmth, and delicious treats.
We're spending this evening with dear family friends, and then sleeping at my parents' house. Even though we live about 20 minutes away. Because Betty really wanted us to stay over, so we can wake up to full stockings and North Dakota sticky buns.
If I remember tomorrow, I'm going to take pictures and post, because they are like crack. With caramel sauce on top.
I'm not big on telling people what to do (except Nick, and that only works to varying degree), but if I could make one suggestion, it would be this. Make sure to tell the people you love that you love them, and hug them a little extra. Everyone wants to be loved, and you can never hear it or feel it too much.
Thank you for reading, thank you for your emails, thank you for caring about me. I hope for all good things in the world for you.
Big, big hugs to all of you!
*hugs* :-)

I just hugged you back...did you feel it?
ReplyDeleteFor the second year running, I performed a Google search with "fisting" as a keyword in order to happen upon your blog in the holiday season via customary (for some, apparently) pathways. It seemed the Christmassy thing to do.
ReplyDeleteLast year...can't recall if my search met with success, but think not.
This year...jackpot. Top two links. One of which I followed. Sure as heckfire hope it became trapped in the logfile tarpits for posterity.
Perhaps I'll add this little ritual to my list of annual Xmas activities...
Oh, you all are just so great!
